After install into the SD card the OS FreeBSD (ARM V6) doesn't run because i've ARM V7. Can someone indicate to me where to download the distribution for ARM V7 quad core?
I'm search the image *.img not *.iso !
Also if there a process to indicate how to install to the SD card?
Regards

Unlike AMD64 and i386 architecture ARM V7 is a family of processors that are loosely similar. In another words OS which can run on Beagle boards doesn't run on Raspberry PI. To make matters worse Raspberry PI is a proprietary hardware requiring tons of proprietary firmware to boot so the best choice is to use proprietary OS for which device is designed (GNU/Linux). NetBSD guys have reversed engineered Raspberry PI so NetBSD does run on it and IIRC FreeBSD as well. OpenBSD will never run on it. DragonFly is amd64 only OS.
